| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in to another episode of Unlimited Hangout. |
| 0:23.5 | I'm your host Whitney Webb, and today I'm joined by Unlimited Hangout contributor Johnny |
| 0:28.5 | Webb Moore for a more unconventional podcast. As many of you may have noticed and may have |
| 0:33.6 | read and my recently published update, this podcast episode is a bit late, and neither |
| 0:38.9 | of us have written very much recently due to the fact that we moved out of Chile, which |
| 0:43.0 | had been my home for the last six plus years. So this episode will start off by going |
| 0:48.9 | over first why I ended up deciding to leave Chile since a lot of people are completely |
| 0:54.8 | unaware of how bad things have gotten there. And now some of you may be thinking, well |
| 0:59.9 | Chile is really, really far away from where I live, so good thing that the dystopian madness |

| 1:39.0 | describe to you in detail is likely to be rolled out or its rollout will be attempted in |
| 1:44.5 | the West during this alleged third wave period that we've been hearing about recently that |
| 1:49.5 | they keep saying is going to happen around June or July of this year. So we're going |
| 1:55.2 | to start off talking about the drastic differences in how Chile's COVID situation in their policies |
| 2:02.2 | are advertised abroad versus how things actually are on the ground. So, Johnny, coming from |
| 2:08.3 | the UK and last year's lockdown over there, what were your impressions of the lockdown |
| 2:13.5 | situation in Chile? And also, how was Chile advertised to you while you were in the UK by |
